The diet of the masses of the poor was mainly bread, which they bought in the bakeries. Since most people lived in rooms without running water or cooking facilities, many people many people ate at the thermpolium (plural thermopolia) .The word was Greek and meant a place where (something) hot is sold. The food they served had been compared to today's fast food. It served the poor who did not have a private kitchen. It had a counter at the front with recesses for heat efficient containers. Many had dining areas at the back. However, most people eat their food on benches along the sidewalk.
